Daisuki to Stream The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki chan, Triage X

Anime Consortium Japan (ACJ) announced on Thursday that the Daisuki service will stream The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki chan and Triage X in the U.S. and Canada.

Streaming of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan will begin at 10:00 p.m. on May 10 EDT, and new episodes will be added every other Monday. Funimation is also streaming the series in North America as it airs in Japan and AnimeLab is streaming the series in Australia and New Zealand.

Daisuki describes the story of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan:

The heroine this time is the “disappeared” Nagato!?
The popular manga by Puyo (The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan) is at last an anime!! Nagato...falls in love for the first time.
This is.... a story about Yuki Nagato, a rather shy but ordinary girl.

The original The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan manga is Puyo's official spinoff based on Nagaru Tanigawa's Haruhi Suzumiya light novel series. Yen Press publishes the manga in North America.

Triage X will begin streaming at 10:00 p.m. on May 10 EDT, with new episodes added every other Monday. Crunchyroll is streaming the series in North, Central and South America, parts of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. AnimeLab is streaming the series in Australia and New Zealand.

Daisuki describes the story of Triage X:

There is a secret organization whose purpose is to sort or "triage" the evils in the world that cannot be brought to justice! The evils are classified as malignant tumors and are removed from this world and shrouded in darkness.

That secret organization is called “Black Label”.
Arashi Mikami, a 17-year old high school student, rises against great evil as a member of Black Label.
The story is an account of the selections, determination and battle of a killer who's only a high school boy.

Triage X is based on Shoji Sato's manga of the same name. Sato launched the manga in Kadokawa's Monthly Dragon Age magazine in 2009, and Kadokawa's Fujimi Shobo imprint published the 10th compiled volume in March. Yen Press published the ninth compiled volume in March. Sato also drew the art for Highschool of the Dead, another manga that inspired an anime.
